Emily Ann Kelavos (born February 14, 2006) is an American singer and dancer. She is a member of the girl group Saint Satine, formed under a joint venture between Hybe and Geffen Records.[1]
Career
Pre-debut activities
Prior to her career as a singer, Kelavos trained as a competitive dancer in the United States.[2] In August 2023, she was named one of the 20 international contestants selected —from more than 120,000 applicants— for The Debut: Dream Academy, a talent competition jointly produced by Hybe and Geffen Records to launch a new global girl group.[3] She advanced through all three missions and reached the show's live final, ultimately finishing among the top ten contestants without being selected for the resulting group, Katseye.[4] Her training journey throughout the program was later documented in the 2024 Netflix docuseries Pop Star Academy: Katseye.[5]
In September 2024, she appeared in and choreographed the music video for Adéla's single "Homewrecked", a fellow former Dream Academy contestant.[6] In April 2025, Kelavos performed as a background dancer for the Japanese pop group XG on the Sahara Stage during both weekends of the Coachella Festival.[6][7]
2025-present: Prelude, World Scout: The Final Piece and debut with Saint Satine
Following the conclusion of her individual dance activities, Kelavos was introduced in August 2025 as the first announced member of "Prelude", a development roster HYBE x Geffen formed with three former Dream Academy contestants —Kelavos, Lexie Levin and Samara Siqueira— while a fourth, final member was sought through a companion audition show.[1][4] In May 2026, her participation in the final lineup of the new global group Saint Satine was confirmed during the broadcast of World Scout: The Final Piece.[1] She debuted with the group via the digital release of the single "Party B4 the Party".[1]
